Inspiring Girls

Since 2019, Alice has been volunteering for Inspiring Girls events.

This initiative established in 2018 is aimed at Year 8 girls to inspire, motivate and guide them to understand that they will be faced with gender imbalance throughout their lives, it is sad fact that inequality exists on many levels, but it is how you respond that will make a difference.

This project is aimed at demonstrating that as a female you can have a career, family and simply be a role model to others in what you do. Through a few small actions you can empower others and have a big impact.

Since establishing Peony & Magnolia, Alice now talks about her own experiences of being a business owner and how you can lead by example and inspire others.

Hemel Hempstead Networking

Peony & Magnolia is a member of a local non-profit networking group. Alice attends these meetings and enjoys supporting SME’s, business owners and has invested her time to be part of a community in the county that P&M was founded.

The value of simply talking through current business problems, ideas and suggestions has been hugely beneficial in 2020.
